Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0984532A1] A multi-wavelength Raman radiation source is disclosed. The source receives pump radiation at a given wavelength, e.g., 1100 nm, and has outputs at two or more longer wavelengths, e.g., 1450 nm and 1480 nm. The cascaded Raman resonator comprises, for each desired output wavelength, an optical cavity formed by a high reflectivity grating and a low reflectivity grating, with both having the same center wavelength, equal to the desired output wavelength. Multi-wavelength Raman radiation sources have a variety of applications, e.g., they can advantageously be used in a remotely pumped optical fiber communication system. <IMAGE>
